Graduating uni I assumed I'd be ready to conquer the world and get incredible results with everyone... but I still felt like an imposter.

I walked out of uni and into a big commercial gym as the youngest of 23 Personal Trainers. It was like walking into the Lion's Den. I was literally getting eaten alive by these experienced PTs and my degree wasn't going to save me. What I realised is that I'd just spent 4 years hiding behind textbooks and listening to lectures, yet barely any time was actually spent in the trenches. Deflated was the understatement of the year. I knew I so desperately needed to be learning in a team, getting hands-on and debating topics with other professionals.

...But I felt embarrassed by the things I didn't know (but thought I was supposed to). Instead of asking "stupid" questions, I just keep my mouth shut. This resulted in me going home, studying for hours and ending up more confused than when I started. Being upfront about the things I didn't know was incredibly hard, but was essential if I wanted to develop my skills. I was done with playing it safe.

So I invested time each and every week in developing my skills and asking all of the "stupid" questions. It was hard, but like with most challenges we face in life, it was also what made me a stronger coach. Investing in my own education was the single most important element in my career's success. Week on week I was achieving better, faster client results and I actually felt confident as a coach.

At this time something shifted within me. I stood taller. I spoke with conviction. I was articulating concepts more clearly. For the first time ever, I actually felt like I knew what I was doing. It was at this time that people started coming to me for advice and I began educating. Personal trainers at first, then Exercise Physiologists, Physiotherapists and other Allied Health. 

Fast forward and over 6 years later I feel I truly understand not just what coaches want, but actually need to be successful, confident practitioners. Sure, I still read 100s of research papers every year to ensure I'm always up-to-date but I don't just read about it. I live it, I breathe it and I practice it, every single week. 

Now it's your turn to become the go-to coach in your space. Let me help you.

ARE YOU Ready to FEEL CONFIDENT AS A COACH AND EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!?
